We had such a lovely time on our wine tour with you.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the region and introducing us to the wineries and distillery.

I think you may have realised from the time we spent at Envy that it was a highlight for us!

Lunch was delicious and generous, and we felt well-cared for throughout the day.

We will highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable wine experience in the Bendigo region. 

Thank you again Shelley and Jo

Cynthia

We had a lovely afternoon tour of Bendigo in Bloom.

 

Annette is very knowledgeable and took us to many places we wouldn’t have gone to ourselves.

 

She also gave us lots of tips and ideas of what to do for the remainder of our stay.

 

The afternoon tea was also delicious.

 

Thanks Annette!
